Description Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision
That was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

wow....so beautiful...the reflections are stunning...its almost as though the picture has been flipped. Simon and Garfunkel are brilliant, lol....great choice to use for your description. Also, great use of sepia.

great depth of field used, seems like the background might be gaussian blurred but your centre of interest seem so crisp its a platform of being strong and can be seen, the texture makes you able to touch it and smell it maybe taste it in its reality its has cohesion consistency but its oneness make's it lost from its surrounding within the silence of the blurried boundaries

Beautiful work. The short depth of field is fantastic. The focus is just perfect. Sepia is definitely one of my favorites. This is looks great in it. The tones blend so well together. Awesome work!

Wow, your photos are always amazingly well done. The sepia was a good choice, it really adds a feeling of lonliness or being forgotten. I like it

I can almost hear the silence
I love the tone this is in, it looks really nice and adds to the feel you've got going with this shot...
I love the reflection on the water, and the angle you shot this on makes the bridge look like a little minature model
Best of luck in the contest

This is a lot different for your usual work, but I like it. I like how everything is reflected upon the water. It adds real character to the piece. Great work and good luck in the contest.

bigdavec [2004-10-21 15:18:42 +0000 UTC]

For me, this is a seminal piece. The sepia tone is just the last perfect addition to this flawless photo. It adds the vintage, that B&W may not have portrayed. The rickety wooden walkway is a great subject choice, though interestingly, ti was not the first thing to catch my eye. The reflection was. The bright whites may be to blame for this f, but you have got a beauty of a reflected sky here. So pin sharp, albeit helped by PS. Very competent work.

BTW, can I assume that because of the square format, this is medium format?

Very very nice... the composition is beautiful, as is the idea behind it.
Only thing I'd argue is that for me personally, the bridge is a notch too sharp. But that's all a matter of preference Wonderful job!
